a. the products have a lower potential energy than the reactants.
b. energy is leaving the system during reaction.
c. this type of experiment will provide data to calculate ? erxn.
d. the mixing is endothermic.
e. none of the above statements are true.

Describe the chemical reaction based on the chemical equation below. also, explain whether the equation is balanced.

Astudent carefully transfers 30 g of water and 30 g of alcohol in a glass tube, forming two layers and filling the tube completely. after sealing the tube, the student mixes the solutions, and notices a bubble that forms in the tube. what is the mass of the contents in the glass tube after mixing?

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes.which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature.sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent
